Most beginners use Promises because that's what tutorials show. But async/await exists for a reason — it's cleaner, easier to debug, and reads like normal code. Here's the side-by-side difference, with real code examples. Save this for when you hit your first API call.

  • Single image comparison post showing async/await vs Promises in JavaScript.

async/await are just keywords that works with promises. It’s not different at all. Only syntaxic sugar.

Good intro, but a few things worth knowing: async/await is just promises sugar coat…you will still need ‘Promise.all()‘ for parallel requests, no way around it. Also the debugging claim sounds outdated - devtools has async stack traces for years now. And to be honest async/await actually has its own footgun as well… forgetting await on a rejection silently escapes your try/catch, which is also nightmare to trace Learn both deeply, don't default to either.

They are both promises but w e

I like promises. You can give them around to other functions. Multiple functions can wait for the same promise etc. Await is (in my opinion) good for short linear functions

Debugging: Harder | Much easier lolwhat
